Alternative Problem U Solution
Now an alternative method of creating the model is shown. This alternative method does not use the Advanced button feature of the Add To Model From Template feature. Instead it makes use of groups and the move command to accomplish essentially the same thing. It is a good example of one of the uses of groups. This alternative method takes more steps than the initial method shown. The initial method is recommended; this method is just shown for example purposes. A1.
